There’s more to building materials than just wood, and Miguel Elliott
is hoping to raise awareness of that with the debut of his documentary,
“Earth Building: Adobe is Alive!” on Saturday, Feb. 12 at Boulevard
Cinemas.

For all my life, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East has always troubled me greatly, and I have always felt the urge to do my part to help restore sanity. This Winter, I have been invited to come to Jerusalem to build cob ovens and benches in community gardens there. There is a garden built over a bomb shelter where we will be building our first oven. in addition to offering my own styles of natural building, I am hoping to learn some valuable techniques from them as well.
